SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Supporting the rental housing sector through the pandemic and beyond is a priority for the industry’s preeminent technology provider. Yardi is proud to be a primary sponsor of the newly launched COVID-19 Rental Housing Support Initiative. The project is a collaboration of The Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM), National Apartment Association (NAA), National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM).

Yardi is proud to be a primary sponsor of the newly launched COVID-19 Rental Housing Support Initiative.

In mid-2020, Yardi committed $1 million to supporting COVID-19 Rental Housing Support and the programs developed by this initiative. The support includes content for renters, like mental health resources and fact-based information on renting, legislative support for the industry, liability information and media outreach. A variety of ongoing support resources will be released in early 2021. Those resources can be found online at covidinitiative.rentalhousingindustry.org.

“Yardi is committed to supporting the multifamily industry for the duration of the pandemic,” said Esther Bonardi, vice president of marketing at Yardi. “Our company mission is dedicated to supporting our clients and communities, and in this case the entire rental housing realm is part of that community.”

Resources will roll out over the next weeks. Check back to covidinitiative.rentalhousingindustry.org for ongoing updates.
